To change the name displayed on the homescreen, you have to know your carrier's operator code then proceed with the tweak...

For instance, since I'm from the Philippines and uses 'Smart Telecommunications' SIM card, my operator code would be 51503.

Attached is a CAB file which will change 'T-Mobile' name on homescreen to 'gpcarreon' (assuming my code is correct). Install it on your device then see if it works.

CarrierName.cab

If it doesn't work, check the operator code. Using a registry editor, open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\OperatorNames then rename the string 31026 to the correct op code. Toggle radio after a successful installation in order for changes to take effect (Flight Mode On-Off).

Remember to change the 'gpcarreon' value data to your desired name. :(

i really appreciate ur help but i can't get it to work for some reason :D

i live in NJ so i put 31026 and even tried 31017 for the code.... i change the phone to on/off in the comm manager.... but it when it starts searching for a signal it still displays the "T-mobile" in the homescreen... thank u very much for the help, maraming salamat!

edit: is it because that there are other operator names in that folder?... should i delete them?

edit2: sry... i just found this thread (editing home.xml), i don't kno if this will work on the shadow though....
